Thank you Glen for
these words of praise. I do not think that personally I deserve them but I did
my best along the way of the project to make sure that my clauses are on time
and that Duane does not have problems putting everything together. I think we had
it up and running quite well J I also learned a
lot, which is what I am very much grateful to you and our community. Meetings
have been challenging at times, but I have very good memories and if I could do
it once more in the future, I would certainly get involved in one of such
challenging projects again. All the best for
everyone, I hope to see you around and congratulations for all us for achieving
this milestone. Your time, contributions and dedication to this project are
very much appreciated. It was indeed a privilege to be involved in this project
as a contributor and editor. Thank you all Your (former)
co-editor J Marek Hajduczenia,
PhD ZTE Portugal Edifício Amoreiras Plaza, Rua Carlos Alberto da Mota
Pinto, nr. 9 - 6 A, 1070-374 Lisbon, Portugal Office: +351 213 700 090 From: Glen Kramer
[mailto:glen.kramer@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Dear Colleagues and Friends, I am very glad to announce that this
morning IEEE-SA Standards Board has approved the IEEE 802.3av standard. This is
a culmination of 3.5 years of hard work by a group of experts who, through
their dedication have advanced the state of the art of the communications
technology, while enduring tight deadlines, meetings through weekends, and
frequent travel to remote locations. I remember how we started in 2006 as
a very diverse group with each member having very different assumptions about
what our work should be or how we should proceed. But working through so many
odd hours together in the end made us a very tight team, very focused and
collaborative. My special thanks to our editors: Duane
Remein and Marek Hajduczenia. Throughout all these years, I was not able to
find their breaking point, even though I tried very hard. I now believe they
are unbreakable and I am very happy that they were such a key part of our team. And whenever the chair of this group has led
the task force into a procedurally-complicated situation (more times than I
care to remember J), we could always count on sound advice by past and current 802.3
chairs: Bob Grow and David Low, and the vice chair Wael Diab. For that I thank
them very much. IEEE 802.3 executive secretary Steve Carlson was always there
for us to make sure that logistically we are all set and that the task force
could be as productive as possible. Steve - without your efforts we would not
be able to keep our schedule. It is truly my privilege to get to know all
of you and to be part of this team and this project. Sincerely, Glen Kramer (Past) Chair of IEEE 802.3av “10G-EPON”
